It bears repeating that "congrats 400!" can not possibly be the cause since the warning was in the same issue as the 400th chapter. There's no reason to fixate on this particular tweet.

I would gladly pay for Weekly Shounen Jump but I have no reasonable way of doing so. Since the magazine is so large and is released so frequently, importing it in a timely fashion is too expensive to be feasible. Shipping tankoubons is already expensive enough (like +>50% to the purchase...

Re: The Great Yoruichi Debate: Captain or Not? Karaburi+, written by Kubo, says she was never in the Gotei 13.

Re: Any Word From Kubo??? There was an interview with Kubo in Weekly Shounen Jump near the end of January as the first part of "Manga Nou no Kitaekata" where Kubo went into some detail on his process for drawing Bleach, the music he plays while doing it, etc. See...

Flawless. Can't get enough of this picture :) Simply amazing.

They're third and fifth seat respectively. Not worthy of consideration (don't forget that no-one knows about Ikkaku's Bankai). Also, even if they were lieutenants, they still wouldn't be here; the text says the order was to ready all captain-classes for battle. The only lieutenants in that...

Dordonii said "I knew that from the moment he obtained the Hougyoku, all the previous Espada would be useless." "I thought that if I beat you at full power, nino, I could be once again recognized by Aizen-sama..." The manga's pretty clear on this point, Dordonii was loyal to Aizen before the...

Re: Bleach 314 Predictions Apologies for breaking the flow of discussion here somewhat. Prediction for 314 (maybe it'll go into 315 too...): From the looks of it it's just the trio (Aizen, Tousen, Ichimaru) that are heading out to Karakura. Maybe the top 3 Espada too. But Aizen's had all those...

Re: Orihime's powers He can probably make his reiatsu do that when he stabs people at close range. Seems to me to be a perfectly reasonable way to make wounds harder to heal / increase the damage.

Re: Bleach 312 Predictions The entire point of the scene where Ichigo got surprised by Ulq's rank and then taken down instantaneously was to show the immense power of the Espada; Ulquiorra is powerful and yet he's only 4th. To say he's not powerful enough to leave any irreversible damage on...

patedecarne: I agree that if you don't accept the databook as canon, more proof is definitely required to say convincingly one way or the other; there are holes in both theories. Without the databook, there are some problems... Kenpachi is never mentioned as having Shikai even when there's ample...

Not that I have a point to make or anything, but just for your information, that's mistranslated (or at least, not clear enough). The original text is 同第一分隊『刑軍』総括軍団長. That line actually means "and General Corps Commander of the 1st Squad thereof, 'Keigun'...", i.e. Onmitsukidou is split into...

Soi Fong is Captain of the 2nd Squad and also happens to be the Supreme Commander (総司令官) of the Secret Mobile Corps (隠密機動), which was Yoruichi's old position. The two roles have never been implied to be bound together. Yoruichi was never a captain. (Yoruichi not being an ex-captain is explicitly...

Re: Bleach 301 Predictions Perhaps Hockeychaoz is referring to this quote by Kubo-san at the back of vol.29?: 'These are design materials I made for the "Forest of Menos" arc, an original story for the TV anime version of BLEACH. Ashido is a character I was unable to put into the original work...

Re: Powerups and Tensa Zangetsu's chain It's quite possible that it's simply decorative. However there's no doubt that the chain is of importance to Tensa Zangetsu - it wouldn't be Tensa without the chain! :) ”Zangetsu" = "Moon Slayer" "Tensa Zangetsu" = "Divine Chained Moon Slayer" This...
